The Finger Lakes Community College Logging Sports Team will bring its unique brand of competition to the Town of Canandaigua’s Fire & Ice Festival, hosting a Doubles Fire Build-Water Boil Competition on Saturday, February 22, from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. in downtown Canandaigua.
The event will showcase the fire-building skills of experienced competitors in a judged contest that requires precision, speed, and teamwork.
“This exemplifies our support for our host community, and we are happy to be a part of this community event,” said FLCC Logging Sports Head Coach Ryan Staychock. “This is one way to share our sport with the public, grow our sport, bring recognition to our team, recruit, engage alumni, and have fun.”
The competition is open only to those who have previously competed in fire build events. Each team of two will receive wood, cans, soapy water, and matches, but participants must bring their own tools for splitting and preparing firewood. The challenge will take place rain or shine, and competitors are encouraged to dress for the weather.
One ticket covers registration for both team members, and space is limited. Upon registration, teams will receive a QR code for check-in at the event.
FLCC’s Logging Sports Team hopes the event will not only highlight the sport’s rich history but also generate interest in the program and broader community.
